Today, with the windchill struggling to reach 0°F at times, thousands marched down Lake Street in South Minneapolis protesting the actions of ICE.
“ICE Out of Minnesota!”
"MINNESOTANS KNOW ICE IS SLIPPERY AND DANGEROUS - IT'S TIME TO DE-ICE!"
"Immigrants are not the problem"

I’m excited to see neighbors tomorrow at the ICE out of MN march and rally on Lake and Bloomington (11:30AM).
I recommend arriving early so you can support small businesses on Lake Street. After the rally ends support even more businesses. Spread the word. ❤️

Creating a thread of egregious ICE actions in the Twin Cities over the last 12 days.
For those who aren't plugged into what's going on - it can feel remote and "not so bad."
Likewise for folks far away. So this collection of stories and links aims to share a small part of the story.

Legal observers at the Whipple Federal Building witnessed ICE agents swapping out license plates in the ICE staging location. Masked agents who already routinely refuse to identify themselves are now swapping license plates at whim to kidnap our neighbors and tear apart families.

After ICE did this in Illinois, the Secretary of State revoked the plates, sent a cease and desist to ICE, threatened to suspend rental car licenses for allowing ICE to swap plates and set up a tip hotline to report plate tampering.
MN deserves the same action.

White neighbors, reports from Latino and Somali businesses on Lake Street are that their numbers are down as much as 90%. Their clientele are scared to go out. We can help with this. Show up, show your support, spend money. And bring your whistles.

Our last episode of the year is a conversation about what resisting ICE has looked like in Chicago, what we've learned, what it's cost, and where we go from here. I'm so grateful to Gabe Gonzalez, Rey Wences, and Jocelyn Walsh for this convo. This one is special to me. Audio + transcript:
How We’ve Resisted ICE: Street Lessons From Chicago
